Ethan's POV

"Look around, Adrian. I have more men than you. It's over," I said coldly.

"It's not over until it's over," he replied defiantly.

FLASHBACK

"We need to be sure she's really still alive, and exactly where she is in Adrian's pack. Before storming in blindly, we have to strike when they least expect it," Sophia said, her tone measured.

"You're right. But what do we do about that? At least now we know Adrian is the Alpha who took her, but we need to confirm she's still alive... and well." I paused, lost in thought, searching for a solution.

"What do you think we should do?" I asked my former beta, turning to him.

He let out a deep sigh. After a few moments of thinking, he finally spoke. "We could send in our trained spies to gather the information we need. That way, we can strike at the right time."

"That's a good idea," Sophia chimed in, "but Adrian can't be underestimated. He's a strong Alpha. He'll sniff them out."

    *************************Ethan's POVAdrian’s eyes were closed. I slapped him hard, forcing him to open them. As soon as he did, I lifted Claire by the neck, bringing her closer to him, making sure he watched every second as I strangled the life out of her.He struggled, but I had him pinned so well he couldn’t move. After a while, I grew tired of strangling her and decided to snap her neck. The sharp crack echoed through the air as I tossed her lifeless body aside. Adrian groaned in agony. It seemed like Claire's death gave him some kind of strength. The next thing I felt was his hand on my back, throwing me hard against the wall of a nearby building. I crashed into it with a bone-rattling force.With his wolf speed, Adrian rushed at me again, but I was quick. I calculated his moves faster than he did, staying glued to the wall, pretending to be too weak to move. As he got closer, I jumped off. He smashed into the wall with full force. If I had let him hit me, the impact would hav

    ***********Ethan's POV"What if I refuse to go with you?" she asked.I was dumbfounded. I hadn't anticipated this question. I never imagined she'd have a choice—after all, she had nowhere to go. Her uncle wouldn't take her back after losing his daughter to the cold hands of banishment."Please, don’t refuse," I said, carefully choosing my words. "My happiness depends on you... my sister’s life is in your hands.""What do you mean by your sister’s happiness? So, you came here just because you think you need my help?" she snapped, her voice rising with anger."Calm down, Lena. I’ll explain everything better when we get back to my pack. Please, don’t refuse to come with me," I pleaded, desperate to calm her."You have to free me from this cell first, even if I am to go with you," she demanded.I signaled to my former beta to check behind the cell, where Lena had said there was something causing the electric current."There’s an uninsulated wire glued to the iron of the holding cell," he

I thought to myself."Did he save me because he was sorry for breaking the bond, or did he need me for his sister's health?" I couldn’t help but wonder."Calm down, Lee," Lyla said."Do you understand what he's talking about?" I asked Lyla."I don’t know what he’s talking about. Maybe you should give him a listening ear and find out what’s happening.""Do you think he's telling the truth about regretting his past actions?" I asked."How do you expect me to know that, Lena? I’m a white witch, not a Moon Goddess," Lyla said, laughing."I thought you were the know-it-all kind of witch," I teased."You don’t seem too happy. What’s wrong, Lena?" Lyla asked."I’m fine, Lyla. Don’t worry about me.""Don’t tell me not to worry about you. What’s going on?""I’m just sad that my first mate killed my second chance mate," I replied reluct

They made it sound like he never had compassion on anything, his rejecting me as his mate was what convinced me and made me believe, but right there the Ethan standing In front of me was no fearless alpha, not a fierce lycan King He was just a scared little brother who was afraid of losing his big sister, a scared little boy who was afraid of losing the last person he had that was family.

Ethan said."Lyla what am I supposed to do now" I asked"Calm down, do not panic," she said "What do you mean, calm down? She's dying already. The enchantment that was used to preserve her body and give her strength is wearing off. Do you expect me to calm down in this situation?"

    *************************Ethan's POV**My joy was boundless. Seeing my sister finally cured was a relief I could hardly put into words. The fear and anguish of potentially losing Sophia had haunted me, and the thought of life without her was unbearable.To think it was my rejected mate who came to our aid at this crucial moment was almost unbelievable. I wasn't about to let her slip away again. I proposed to her immediately, but she turned me down, saying she couldn’t decide right now. At least it wasn’t a definitive no. I still had hope. I could feel the mate bond between us, even though it was weaker than before my rejection.I ordered a celebration to honor Lena and her heroism. I wanted everyone to know what she had done for our pack.During the celebration, Sophia woke up. After coughing, she stood up, looking like the strong, fearless Sophia I knew."What's going on here?" she asked, referring to the noisy celebration."We’re celebrating your recovery and Lena’s heroism.

    *******************************Ethan’s POVI remained calm after seeing the sign Lena gave me. This witch keeps calling me "expressionless," probably because, during our first meeting, I refused to show any reaction on my face.“Do you both need seats too?” she asked, a mocking smile playing on her lips.Before we could even open our mouths to respond, seats appeared the same way they had before—hitting Lena’s leg. This time, they struck us with just as much force, shoving us into them.“Don’t worry, dears, you’ll need the seats. This will take a while.” She paused, scanning our faces, her gaze lingering on mine.“Mr. Expressionless still living up to his name, I see,” she teased, her voice dripping with amusement.I glared at her with as much disgust as I could muster. All I wanted was to rip her apart, but somehow she sensed my thoughts.“Haha, no evil thoughts in my lair, Expressionless, you hear me?” she said, her tone mockingly sweet.I nodded, suppressing the urge to throttle h

When I got there, I saw the horses we used tied down, and everything looked like our castle.“Oh, you’re back,” Sophia said as she stepped out of her chambers. She looked like she was getting ready to return to her pack.“Yes, we just got back,” I replied, trying to steady my thoughts.“That was fast,” she remarked, raising an eyebrow. “Did you guys teleport or something?” she laughed lightly.“Well, we actually did teleport back,” I said.“For real?” she teased, clearly not believing me.“Yes, Sophe, for real,” I replied, my voice serious.“Oh my goddess! You aren’t joking, Ethan. You guys really teleported?” Sophia's face grew serious, her eyes wide with surprise.“Who did it? Was it Lena? Or Lyla?” she asked, her curiosity piqued.“No, Sophe, it wasn’t either of them,” I replied.“Then who?” Sophia press

    **************************Lena's POV I opened my eyes to see Ethan lying lifeless beside me, almost dead. He was standing in between me and Zane as if he was trying to wait till I had woken up so I could continue from where he stopped. I looked at the place where Adrian was. He still lay down lifeless and almost dead. "Ethan, what are you doing facing Zane" but he couldn't hear me. The next thing I saw was an almost lifeless body lying in front, eyes wide open and staring at me. I felt a rage inside. I looked at both men, and the rage to protect those I loved just sparked in me.All of a sudden, light began to shine out from every part of my body. I was still wrapped by the tendrils, but as my light began to shine from my body, little by little, I started to feel the grip of the tendrils loosen up little by little until It loosened up completely."Oh I see you are finally awake, your boyfriend tried to delay me so you could wake up I will give him a plus for that but one thing I kn

I couldn't believe he asked me to do something like that. Running through the tunnels, fueled by anger and desperation, I made up my mind to destroy Zane and make sure I saved Adrian. Ethan continued to beg me and try to change my mind, but I waivedamantm a. NT I listen to. All I could think of was saving Adrian no matter what. I wasn't going to do this; I was going to allow myself to be deceived by his selfishness. 'I don't care what Ethan says but I won't abandon Adrian and I will make sure I make Zane pay for what he has done' I said to myself I continued to move deeper into tunnels, meetings, and staircases. Everywhere I passed through, I came across Zane's minion. These dar,k evil creatures blocked my pain, and I showed them no mercy. I used every bit of anger I felt inside of me, channelling my growing rage into my attacks.

    *********************Ethan's POV The sight of what I saw dreaded Me I could see the life being sniffed out from Lyla I controlled the urge to run into the middle of everything and just try to save her but I needed a plan I wouldn't want to go there and then I ended up being caught in the Web of what was going on without being able to save Lena. I tried to see if I could get signs of her alive, and I decided to use my hearing to check for a heartbeat. I was glad when I heard her heartbeat. Though it was slow, I was glad it was still beating. Leba was unconscious, with dark magic swirling around her as Zane kept on draining the power and life inside of her. Adrian was barely unconscious, chained and weakened. My heart pounded as I accessed the situation. I knew the time was running out, and I must act quickly to save both lena and Adrian. 'There's no way to win this fight outright. I need to overhang him,' I said to myself. I began to analyse and observe Zane's movement and powers.

    *********************Adrian's POVI woke up to see a bunch of rocks lying on my body; I awakened my alpha strength and then used it to push off the rocks that had fallen on me. I was angry at myself for what I had done. The last thing I remember was Lena lashing out at me, sending me flying. The thoughts of that scenario just made me more angry at myself it made me feel so stupid. I didn't know how long that was.'She couldn't have gone far' I said to myself I moved the last rock on my leg and started moving forward. As I moved further, I began to see packs of Zane's minions dead on the floor. I checked for their pulses, and it seemed like they had been dead for a while. I was shocked; I wondered, how long they had died for. I left them and moved forward down the tunnel. Nel, I met more and more minions that appeared to be dead along the line bu, but I didn't see a sign of Lena. I decided to follow the trail of dead bodies and continued going further and further until I came close

    *********************ETHAN'S POV we had come so far, but we finally got to where Lebs felt Adrian was, but we didn't find him there. Zane outsmarted us. He had beaten us to it. In a way, he was able to see through Lena's scanning to find Adrian too, and now Lena wants to go save Adrian.I wasn't going to allow them to face Zane unprepared; she had not learned enough to be able to defeat Zane. It was a dangerous thing. I was not also going to slow the risk of her life because of Adrian. She means more to me than the life of Adrian.Yes, call me selfish if you want, but I don't mind being selfish when it comes to the matters of Lena. Besides, I already listed her once; I wasn't going to lose her again to Zane, and this felt like a good way to eliminate my competition. I know that deep down in that innocent heart of yours, you are judging me, saying I am wicked, and seriously... I don't mind at all. You can think whatever you want to. All I was trying to do was just to make sure I did

    ***********************Lena's POV I signalled to him to hurry so we coukd go find Adrian. He ran fast enough but what he did I wasn't expecting it he kissed me. It was a very brief one but I wondered how he was still able to think about doing something like that in this present situation we were in. A situation of life abd death, I actually liked the way he did it, it brought a quick smile on my face but It was immediately changed to an angry face when zabe spoke out again. "Fool you think you would win because you have this little trick" he said "I will come for you when I am done saving Adrian" I said angrily I forgot again that he was talking to me telepathically and ethsn wouldn't hear what we were saying but I ended up saying my reply our angrily.

    *********************Lena's POV As we navigated our way through the forest, trying to locate where I had seen Adrian while I was scanning the maze with my powers, the fortress became serious and dead quiet. It was a dangerous sign that we were entering a heavily guarded area, but I was slightly confused. I didn't see this place where I was scanning. Getting closer, I got to understand that it was because the dark magic covering this particular area was a very thick and strong one that my light couldn't penetrate through, probably because I didn't tap into the right amount of light magic. I just felt like I didn't need much of it to scan through it's why I didn't tap into much light. But I then understood that I was supposed to tap into as much as I could. We were fixed to confront a smaller group of minions in a very brief but intense fight.Ethan was the one who handled most of the combat combining his wolf strength with his skills of handling a weapon. I used my magical powers t

    ****************************Lena's POV I and Ethan carefully moved through the darkness, sticking to the shadows to avoid detection. The tension became more heightened as we began to hear the sound of footsteps and the constant growling of Zaes minions. My heart pounded, and I tried to keep myself composed, knowing Adrian was somewhere nearby. There was a serious debate in my mind. I was wondering if I could use my magic to cloak my presence, but I feared I might alert Zane if I couldn't get it right. I knew that every step we took brought us closer to the danger we would eventually have to face. I still had a deep contemplation of the matter, wondering if there was a way I could avoid Zane and not fight him. The whole fortress seemed to be fortified with his dark magic. I could feel the weight of its presence weighing strongly on me.As we continued deeper into the fortress, we began to see more groups of Zane's minions. Now it was really obvious that Zane had already felt my pre

I could hear my bones crack and the sound of my muscles tearing. He used his other hand to give me a hard blow on my belle. It sent me flying over and falling to the ground. He rushed at me on the ground with his vamp speed, hitting me on the ground and brushing me against the wall of the tunnel. I could sense my soul almost slipping away from my body I felt like I was going to die but my mind flashed back to LenaImmediately I felt a sudden wave of strength flow through me it was like the thought of Lena had just sparked new strength within me as I was being dragged around the walls of the tunnel in a circle I managed to bring out my claws using then them to forcefully hit the vampire making sure my claws passed through his skin.The pain he felt made him throw me down forcefully.
